SnackTAXI Review

An estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide, that's over 1 million per minute.

Worldwide, an estimated 4 billion plastic bags end up as litter each year. Tied end to end, that's enough to circle the globe 63 times.

Each reusable bag you use has the potential to eliminate an average of 1,000 plastic bags over its lifetime.

Is that enough to inspire you to start using an alternative? We spend far too much money on wasteful and environmentally damaging products each year. In my opinion, it makes more sense to purchase items which will make our lives easier, and our children's futures a little bit more certain. Enter the Snack TAXI....

A reusable snack and sandwich bag made of 100% cotton exterior, and lined with polyeurethane coated nylon (on the side which does NOT touch the food.) Both fabrics are free from lead and pthalates.

I received a Snack TAXI and a full sized Sandwich TAXI for review. This past weekend, I took D out to the lake. It was a great opportunity to try the snack sack. Normally, I'd pack a ziplock bag with cheerios and puffs for D to snack from in between running around outside. This time, we tried the reusable Snack TAXI. It worked great! Nothing spilled from it in the diaper bag, and it was easy for her to carry around and to use. She was able to open and close it herself, with the velcro closure, and she liked the bright colors on the bag as well. It made snacking a little more fun for her! Anyone who has a finicky toddler will know that's important! After she finished her cheerios, I was able to just wipe the nylon lining of the bag clean with a damp dish cloth, and let it dry before stashing it away. The sacks would be great for bringing to school or work, or even to carry in your purse on a busy day out. Snack TAXI also makes produce bags, lunch sacks and cloth napkins! Everything you need to enjoy an environmentally friendly on-the-go meal.
